Method not Allowed, php

[Anon]

When I uploaded my php-script, a whois script, it didn't work. I got the message 'Method not Allowed'. How can I fix this???? Pleas help me with this.

Thanx

You can't, you system administrator has decided not to let you have action to this function, and has blocked it out.

I mean access to the function. Sorry.

Thanx, than I'll call my Administrator, maybe he can help me. But it is strange because the hosting package I have supports scripts... Anyway, thanx for your help!!

Supporting scripts is one thing, but letting the script writer have full access to functions that do shell stuff is completely different.

There are a lot of functions that are not often needed for "standard" php scripting that can be a huge security issue if they are give to everyone with scripting acccess.

That's an Apache message, not a PHP one. If it was a PHP message, it would look something like:

Warning: function() has been disabled for security reasons. in /path/to/script.ext on line n

"Method Not Allowed" is an Apache 405 status message, saying that the filetype doesn't allow, for example, the GET or POST method. In other words, the filetype Tijmen is using is not set up to execute as a PHP script.

Tihmin, if your host definitely allows PHP access, and it's available for your account, try renaming the file to .php3 (or .php if you're currently using .php3). If that doesn't work, you'll need to contact them and ask them the appropriate filename; or get them to turn it on.

He Adam, thanx for your reaction. I've already tried to rename it to .php3, but it still doesn't work. My hosting package should allow php. Monday I'll call my administrator! Thanx anyway..
